Excitement, etc.

Here in Toledo, there really isn't a whole lot to get excited about. So when something like a new bridge opens, people like me get up at 6 AM to walk across it. Yes, the brilliant I-280 bridge finally opened after a few years of construction and lots of boo-hooing by drivers trying to get to East Toledo. At least the nimrods running the city have completed something. And I was one of the first few to gallavant across it.

Here are some photos documenting my adventure:

We were really excited for that early in the morning.

The bridge.

Me...on the bridge.

The view from the bridge (isn't that a song?)

Shout out to Oregon City School buses for providing a free shuttle service. Wouldn't have gotten there without ya! Props.

I thought this was kinda arty.

That is all.

Yeah, fun times had by all. Afterwards, I slept for a few hours, and then painted this lady's garage for fifty bucks. Then I had to shower off all the paint I spilled on my clothes and my face. Then a few grad parties to round off the weekend. Hooray for free food!!

My parents also bought a trampoline. Now, the last trampoline we had was from the deadbeats whom we bought this house from. Apparently, they didn't have the space at their new place, so they figured they might as well leave the trampoline at their old house. It was cool for me, it's how I made friends. However, my parents thought that neighborhood kids would jump around when we weren't home, get seriously injured, and sue us for everything.

They no longer hold that belief, since they just got one. I get tired of trampolining in a short amount of time, but I still kinda wish they would've gotten one while I was still living here year-round. It coulda been crucial in the meeting chicks area.

In a twisted turn of events, though, I think I might have broken my toe on a friend's trampoline. You can never win.

Over and out,The Barry
